New Year's and Weekend Recap

Happy Monday lovelies! I suppose it's really back to real life now that the Holidays are officially over. But I'm actually looking forward to getting back into a regular routine. Today I'm recapping our New Year's and the weekend, since I was a slacker last week.

On New Year's Eve we were considering going down to St. Augustine with some friends, but we decided against it because all of the restaurant reservations were full, and it would have been crazy anyway. So instead we had them over for coffee and dessert and drove around looking at Christmas lights one last time! It was extremely low key and perfect.

That is a life size gingerbread house, and it smelled AMAZING! I totally cheated on the cheesecake for dessert, I didn't have time to bake so I bought a Cheesecake Factory one from the grocery store and made some chocolate ganache to pour on the top.

On New Year's Day we pretty much stayed home all day and watched football, or as much as we could without cable. I made coffee cake per Adam's request, and wore my new shirt that I got for FREE from Dr. Pepper for retweeting something during a game! I <3 free stuff.

Friday night we went to St. Augustine with our friends and had a yummy dinner and walked around sightseeing.

Pretty St. Augustine sights

Saturday and Sunday were mostly chill days at home, got some cleaning done, worked on our budget, watched the playoffs, lost my wedding ring for a few hours and had to retrace my steps to three different stores, found it back home in the yard, you know, the usual.

I also watched Downton Abbey (OMG so glad it's back!!) and prepped my food for today because I'm officially starting a new round of 21 Day Fix today!

What a perfect weekend and the Gators won so there's that too!!! I love that you got a free shirt for tweeting them during a game - score!!! I haven't been to St. Augustine in a while, but that will likely change this month :) xo, Biana - BlovedBoston

Oh, goodness! I'm glad you found your wedding ring- I would be panicking! I'm ready for routine and order again, too! As much as it stinks to lose in the playoffs, I just gotta move on and that means a little more free time to do projects and other fun things now!!

i want to cry a little because all the food looks so amazing. that cheesecake (cheating schmeating) and the alfredo - yum! thank goodness you found your ring, i would have freaked out! and i was so excited for downton to return until i realised i am somehow an entire season behind. wtf?!
